I still have my solenoid on my car, no controllers, just standard boost - no problems ;-)

ive still got this connected on mine despite having the avcr fitted, although the only pipe that goes into it is from the intake pipe, so if you were running a non OE boost controller then i would say disconnect it.

if im going to install a boost controller would i get rid of this?

yes, not sure on manual controllers but def for electronic ones you can bin it
